It's election day in Sweden today. I met these volunteers in Västerhaninge. They were handing out ballot paper to voters. As I took the photo the Mayor came by and commented on the fact that there were mostly women here. The smiling man in the middle representing the Liberal Party had a look at the photo and said that he looked very slim on the picture! The people you see here represents the following parties:Moderaterna. Miljöpartiet. Folkpartiet. Socialdemokraterna. F! and Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna.

Lots of parties, just like here. Lots of enthusiasm in those faces too.
I hope you voted for the best party!:)
They appear to all be getting along quite nicely.
If all political parties were well-behaved liked these, we would all be better off.
I hope your result will be quicker than ours was recently. It took three weeks before it was decided who would be running Australia, by 1 member.
There was a few parties missing from this line up. We had a very interesting result. And it will take a few weeks to sort it out. But the centre/right coalition will stay in power, although they didn't get a majority so they will have to work something out with the green party.
Some more facts here:

Nice to see them all side by side and not yelling at each other like they do here. That is a lot of parties.
